Great quiz! Please accept more alternate language name spellings. For example, Romansch and Saami. Thanks!

Please establish a standard by which languages are included in this quiz, as many other European languages from Occitan to Provencal to Romani were not included. Also, please accept alternate spellings for Sami (Saami) and Romansh (Romansch, Romanche, Rumantsch).

Please accept Serbo-Croatian for Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian. I don't understand why some languages are included but others aren't. Walloon? Flemish? Also I don't understand why you would include Georgian/Armenian/Azerbaijani as all of those are Asian countries.

flemish is not a language, it is dutch with an accent. About walloon I dont know if it is considered an individual language or not.

There are several mistakes in this quiz:

1. Bosnian and Montenegrin languages are not actual languages, we should not mix politics and linguistics;

2. There is no proof that Albanian has any connection with the old Illyrian language. It actually has much more similarities with the languages of the Caucassus, with whom it probably shares common ancestry;

3. You excluded a lot of languages like Romani, Sardinian, Sorbian, Neapolitan, Maltese...

Wikipedia is incredibly dumb regarding which languages it considers "important" enough to warrant being on that list. Irish but not Scots? Karelian but not Mari? There's only fifty-thousand Sami living in the frozen forests of Northern Scandinavia, and about as many Maltesians; meanwhile, there are over 5 million Tatars in Russia alone, and half a million Mari.
